It’s pretty unusual thing that has been going around in Google Mail since last three or four days. Everyday i delete some 15-20 spam mails, all selling some V pills or some Microsoft, Adobe’s software for 30-40 bucks, etc. I remember, Google Mail was pretty strict in letting the spam out. But i guess they are not keeping up to mark or up to date, so as to speak.
Of course i have been reporting the spams to Gmail via the feature “Report Spam”…. But i think the same mails again ends up in the inbox the following day. So certainly, at least on my end, Google Mail is not working perfectly as it usually, always did.
Anyone else noticing the same thing?

It may be because some of the spammers are adding these spam emails in their white list in their network and hence gmail cannot recognize them. Also some add up links to top sites / add up articles from BBC, put their website URL in a image etc.

Amit, Don’t you think the spammers in fact are more technically advanced than even SEO guys. I mean, SEO guys don’t always get lucky with Google and such comapnies, but look at spammers. They did manage. Anyways, whitelist and BBC techniques all accepted. But how on the earth can one have “Viagra” in the title and gmail let’s him away?
Syed, sorry to hear about “Vista Print emails”. I hope you keep on reporting the mails as “Not Spam”. Probably Google’s Mail spam filtering functionality will improve that way!
I think eventually GMail will work on it, as soon as they know about it.

I have recently noticed this too. But I have faced this problem in the past too, and I have noticed that GMail learns about spam when you mark an email as spam. After I kept on consistently marking non-spam mail (from Total Training) as spam, for a prolonged period of time, it now automatically goes into my spam folder now
. So you know what to do, just be persistent, things will improve over time.
